Ethereum News Today: Ethereum Surges on $1.02 Billion ETF Inflows, Nears 2-Year High

Ethereum (ETH) is showing renewed strength amid record ETF inflows, with the price holding at $4,293 following a $1.02 billion surge in daily inflows. Institutional players such as BlackRock added 150,000 ETH, valued at $6.24 million, to the market, while Fidelity and others contributed to a total inflow of $10.8 billion [1]. This has pushed Ethereum to its highest level in two years, just 15% below its November 2021 peak. On-chain data indicates that ETH's circulating supply on exchanges is at a nine-year low, reflecting reduced selling pressure [1].

The upward trajectory has triggered price target discussions among analysts. Charts highlight a key resistance level at $4,352, with potential sights set on $4,800 if inflows remain consistent [1]. Investors are increasingly viewing Ethereum as a foundational asset in their crypto portfolios, with its market performance aligning with broader bullish expectations.

Chainlink (LINK) is also on an upward trend, having broken through critical resistance levels. Analysts anticipate a potential 60% rally, with short-term price targets near $26, and longer-term goals reaching up to $35–$36 [1]. This momentum is attributed to both reduced supply and rising demand, alongside new partnerships such as its collaboration with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) to deliver real-time financial data on-chain [1]. These developments underscore Chainlink’s expanding utility beyond decentralized finance (DeFi) into broader financial infrastructure.

Meanwhile, a non-trading project capturing attention is Cold Wallet (CWT). In Stage 17 of its presale, Cold Wallet is priced at $0.00998, having already raised $6.2 million with over 735 million tokens sold [1]. The project entered the market with a built-in user base of over 2 million through its $270 million acquisition of Plus Wallet. This unique approach allows Cold Wallet to offer immediate utility, including cashback rewards on transactions, setting it apart from traditional presale models [1].

Cold Wallet’s token price has increased incrementally from $0.007 in Stage 1 to its confirmed launch price of $0.3517, providing a potential return of over 3,400% for early participants [1]. Unlike Ethereum or Chainlink, which are subject to broader market volatility, Cold Wallet's early user adoption and active ecosystem may offer quicker growth opportunities.

While Ethereum and Chainlink remain central to the crypto narrative, Cold Wallet’s approach demonstrates how pre-launched utility and active adoption can generate early momentum. Investors seeking exposure to projects with clear ROI potential and live use cases may find Cold Wallet particularly appealing [1]. However, the projected returns remain speculative and based on the project’s presale performance rather than post-listing outcomes.
